A magazine built on
real stories

DWC — Defiant Women Conversations — is an independent global magazine founded in May 2024 by Camille Lefebvre and Mike Devlin, published by Defiant Women's Resources Ltd, London.

Our Mission

Strong women, strong voices. We exist to put real women — authors, founders, creatives, and everyday defiant voices — on covers, in print, and in front of a global readership that legacy media overlooks. Every feature we publish is a permanent, findable record of a woman's work. We are reader-supported, editorially independent, and we publish every submission that meets our editorial standard.

DWC Weekly

Published every Tuesday at 6pm EST. Our flagship edition — in retail stores, hotels, and from September 2026, on airlines.

DWC Conversations

Published every day except Tuesdays, 6pm EST. Contributor stories — books, podcasts, personal growth, real life.

Print Milestones

50 issues · 250,000 copies · 86 countries. Airlines joining the distribution network in September 2026.

DWC Voices App

Now available on Google Play. Read every issue of DWC Weekly and Conversations from your phone.

New — May 2026

DWC is now a cited source for Google Knowledge Panels.

Since May 2026, DWC Magazine has become the cited source for multiple Google Knowledge Panels — the summary boxes that appear at the top of search results when someone looks up a person, brand, or topic. Google selects these sources algorithmically, based on authority and trust. Being featured on dwcmagazine.com is now part of how Google understands who you are.

In plain terms: when someone Googles your name, Google may pull from our feature to describe you. That is recognition — and it compounds over time.

Before you book

How quickly will I be published?

All accepted submissions go live within 8 weeks of receipt. You'll receive written confirmation of your date.

Can I get a refund?

No. All payments are final. Fees fund printing, distribution, and platform costs the moment they're received, so we're unable to offer refunds under any circumstances.

What happens if I miss my materials deadline?

Your slot is forfeited. If photos, articles, or artwork are not received by the deadline we confirm with you, there is no extension and no refund.

Who owns my content after publication?

You do. Copyright stays with you at all times.

Can men be featured?

Yes. Men and women are equally welcome across our features and directories.

Can I choose my publication date?

Dates are first come, first served, and confirmed once payment is made.

Do I receive a print copy?

Cover features include one print copy. Additional copies can be purchased via the distribution page.

Will my issue be available in retail outlets?

If there is enough proof of demand, yes. As of July 2026, your issue qualifies for retail distribution once it reaches 1,000 print copies sold or borrowed. To qualify for extended distribution — hotels and airlines — it needs to reach 3,000 copies.

Ready to be part of
something defiant?

Whether you have a story, a book, a podcast, or a business — there is a place for you in DWC. All accepted submissions go live within 8 weeks of receipt.
